In order to win over Yu Zecheng's troops, Dai Li spent a lot of money; according to his arrangement, all company commanders were promoted to majors; company attached to captain; platoon leader to lieutenant; deputy platoon leader to second lieutenant.

However, the deputy captain of the 100th Special Operations Brigade is still a major. Because the Military Command Bureau has no plans to send anyone to the station this time. This deputy captain must be Yu Zecheng's closest confidant.

Dai Li could not tell how many members of the 100th Special Operations Brigade would return after participating in the battle this time; therefore, he did not plan to add sand to the matter. He would wait until the battle was over.

As long as Yu Zecheng can continue to make meritorious deeds, Dai Li has no intention of mixing in the sand. He also knows that these heroes need their own land; participating in it will affect the combat effectiveness of the troops, and if they fail to make meritorious deeds, the gain often outweighs the loss.

The appointments reported by Yu Zecheng are as follows:

Wang Qiangun serves as the deputy captain of the major;

Li Zaitian serves as the commander of the major's special company;

Wang Zhijiang serves as the major commander of the infantry company;

Tian Mingshan serves as the commander of the major machine gun company;

Wan Guimin was originally the commander of the artillery company. But he was going to the 74th Army; he turned out to be the artillery lieutenant of the 74th Army. Therefore, he could only stay in Shipai this time.

Guo Kunping was appointed as the major commander of the artillery company.

Jin Tiansheng was also promoted to major medic, and Wu Daili was promoted to captain medic.

The person in charge of the communications company is Yu Jihong. Because she has been "sacrificed" in the military command bureau and cannot appear in front of military commanders, she was not promoted this time.

After the military ranks were awarded, Wu Gengshu and others left.

After Wu Jingzhong discussed the specific itinerary with Yu Zecheng, he also left Shipai the next day and went to the Changsha Ninth War Zone Headquarters. He was accompanied by eight telecommunications personnel including Yan Fuyou.

At this time, it was already August 16th. Yu Zecheng knew that the second battle of Changsha was less than a month away. He was ready to set off with his troops.

Although Wu Kuiyuan knew that Yu Zecheng would not be in much danger in the next battle, as his wife, he still had to warn him: "Zecheng, when we go to the battlefield, don't rush to the front line!"

Yu Zecheng looked at Wu Kuiyuan's expression of deep love and was very moved! Although he had many wives and concubines, his feelings for Wu Kuiyuan, Wu Yimei and Lan Zuohui were the most primitive and deepest.

He said: "Don't worry! The Japanese wanted to kill me so much in Chongqing, but they couldn't succeed. How could they kill me on the battlefield?"

Wu Kuiyuan saw the butcher and said, "Why don't you bring the butcher and the cook with you?"

Yu Zecheng waved his hand and said: "I am not in great danger outside; on the contrary, you are in great danger in Shipai. I don't know how many people are watching the Yu family compound. Now, most of the troops have left; protecting you is more important

Okay. Let them stay in the Yu Family Courtyard!"

However, Yu Zecheng still replaced the rifles with silencers for the butcher and the cook. The newly purchased Da Ba Li did not have a silencer; it was not a problem for the butcher and the cook to hold it. If it is really necessary, Wu Kuiyuan also has a silencer.

rifle.

Wu Kuiyuan felt that what Yu Zecheng said was right. Someone in the Sichuan army was keeping an eye on the Yu family compound. Fortunately, Yu Zecheng handed some of the gold bars to Wu Kuitang. Otherwise, such a large sum of money would have been left in the original Yu family compound.

It was buried in the ruins of the courtyard with no one guarding it, so I felt a little worried.

This time, Wan Guimin was unable to participate in the battle, so Yu Zecheng arranged for him to stay in the Yu family compound and be responsible for the security of the entire compound together with the two heavy machine gun platoons.

Wu Kuiyuan was surrounded by nine female security guards, plus a dozen young boys and girls, as well as butchers and cooks. The security force was still very strong.

More than a dozen young boys and girls are the children of Xujiacun and Zhuizishan soldiers. They have received military training since childhood. Now that they have guns and ammunition, the training is even harder. Many of them are already standard sharpshooters.

If he really encounters a strong enemy, Wu Kuiyuan can lead his troops to retreat to the mountain that has been prepared; and then ask Li Kunyi from Zhuizi Mountain to go down the mountain for support.

Li Kunzhen was still at Zhuizishan, and this was also a late move made by Yu Zecheng.

After Yu Zecheng embraced Wu Kuiyuan and Yu Jihong, he secretly left Shipai with his team in the dark.

During this expedition, Yu Zecheng asked all the soldiers to bring a set of Japanese military uniforms! In order to reduce the burden on the soldiers, he also brought ten carriages, mainly loaded with artillery shells and bullets.

In order to ensure that this battle could annihilate a large number of enemies, Yu Zecheng brought the money bottle after careful consideration.

Qian Ping is pregnant. Although it is still early to conceive, she should not be too tired.

Yu Zecheng arranged the money bottle on a carriage.

All the soldiers in the guard squad were equipped with big eight grains; some soldiers in the special company were also equipped with American rifles. The combat effectiveness has been further improved.

The second battle of Changsha was actually very miserable!

Although the Japanese army launched the attack on September 7, the actual battle across the Xinqiang River was on September 18.

After capturing Zhuzhou on October 1, the Japanese army began to retreat. On October 6, they withdrew to the north of Xinqiang River. The entire battle was over!

It can be said that the Guo army was completely defeated in the entire battle.

After the war, the commissioner rebuked the Ninth War Zone at the Nanyue Military Conference: "Like this Changsha battle, if we have such a strong force and such a good posture, we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy and capture many of the enemy's officers and soldiers.

We can definitely capture countless enemy weapons! Even if there are not ten thousand prisoners, there should always be a thousand! If there are not a thousand, there must be a hundred! If there are not a hundred, at least there should be ten. What about you in the end?

It’s a disgrace to the soldiers of the party and the country!”

Finally, in order to safeguard the honor of the 74th Army, the commission specially approved that Liao Lingqi, who had asked for leave to go home to get married, be shot and killed for escaping from battle!

After Yu Zecheng retired from active service in Taiwan, he studied this battle carefully. He knew that there was not much he could do. But there are two things that can remind the Ninth Theater:

First, the Japanese army cracked the command code of the Ninth Theater Command;

Second, the Japanese army began to retreat on October 1st.

Historically, Xue Yue was still unaware of the Japanese army's retreat after several days! After confirming that the Japanese army had begun to retreat, he did not dare to order his troops to boldly intercept and pursue them. He missed a good opportunity to kill the enemy and let the enemy retreat completely!

Yu Zecheng also knew that his small force was not even enough to fill the gap between his teeth when the enemy's large corps fought. Therefore, he did not intend to fight the Japanese in the first stage!

He knew that he had to devise a plan that would not only make the Japs pay a higher price, but also preserve his own strength!

After marching for five days and one night, Yu Zecheng led the troops to reach Changde Dahu Pier on August 22.

Wu Kuiyuan had already telegraphed Xu Qianhu and eight large ships to wait at the dock.

Seeing Yu Zecheng approaching, Xu Qianhu's face turned red with excitement. He hurried forward, raised his hands in salute, and then shouted: "Boss! I've finally waited for you!"

Yu Zecheng was also very happy to see Xu Qianhu! They met in Nanjing City. Unexpectedly, Xu Qianhu followed him all the way to Shipai. Now, he was deeply ambushed in Changjiao Town. Thinking of this, he sighed

Endless!

He raised his hand in return and said: "Qianhu, thank you for your hard work!"

Although Xu Qianhu had to get wind and rain in Changjiao Town, he was in a foreign land after all, and he was far away from his family in Shipai Town. Overall, he still missed his relatives a little. Now, after hearing that Yu Zecheng

If you do, all the grievances will disappear.

He said: "Boss, don't work hard! You should do things for the boss!"

At this time, Xu Qianyue came over and shouted: "Brother!"

Xu Qianhu was happy to see his cousin in high spirits, but he was still a little regretful! Originally, as long as he persisted, maybe his biological sister Qian Qian would become Mrs. Yu.

He said: "Has my sister made progress under the guidance of the boss?"

Xu Qianyue smiled shyly. She glanced at Yu Zecheng and said, "How can we not make progress? My husband is a military expert and a master of making money. If you don't make progress, you will be sorry for your husband's cultivation. Brother, I heard

You command hundreds of ships here, you are very majestic, right?"

Xu Qianhu laughed loudly and said: "This is all done under the orders of the boss. Where is the prestige?"

Then, Xu Qianhu arranged for everyone to get on the boat.

Two hours later, it was getting dark. All the troops had been loaded onto the ships.

Xu Qianhu's boat acted as the pilot boat and walked in the front.

Yu Zecheng stood on the deck of the bow, and his thoughts had already flown to Chunhua Mountain, where the war was raging...

He knew that in this battle, the 74th Army suffered heavy losses! More than one-third of the casualties were casualties, and more than half of the combatants were killed! If the combat effectiveness of the 74th Army was not really strong, the entire army would have been almost wiped out!

After the war, many people said that this battle was the beginning of the decline of the 74th Army from prosperity; because in this battle, the 74th Army lost a large number of veterans with combat experience. Although it was later renovated, the combat effectiveness

begin descending.
